We'll be using a dueling tree and texas star for some of the side matches. The Iowa Challenge is a special side match. Shot like a stage but a little bit more complicated, hence the name. A minimum of 10-10-8 rds. maybe some reloads. $5 gets you two runs through it. We'll take your best time. It will also get your name thrown in the hat for the drawing for the reloading supplies.

I wasn't able to shoot this match last year due to my stroke, but I can vouch for the fact that they put on a fun little annual. Well worth the trip. I have shot the match several times and always left grinning

These guys put on a great match. I won the Iowa challenge one year, it was called low on ammo and my partner had ran out of ammo and I had to throw him a reload from about 25 ft away and he had to load it and hit the last target to stop the clock. I think it was 21 pistol, twenty rifle and 12 shotgun. We shot it clean and he caught the reload which was how we won. The thing is I met him at that match and had loaned him my pocket pistol and ammo and he won the side match for pocket pistol and I came in second. Funny thing is that was the only match I ever saw him at and have not seen him since. It was a great weekend.

That looks like the range that used to be at Ackley? I sure miss that range.

Lanky old pard I'm sure gonna half to put this one on the calendar. Rumor has it that NTR has dropped their 3 day shoot in August over in Western Iowa. Ol' Habanero Kid is already after me for a reunion of the Pepper Brothers!!!

FYI all this was the no 1 post , gotta cut a little slack , but i agree it would help the promotion of a shoot to include where it is so those of us thinking of driving 300 miles can plan a bit ahead , im going to check my calendar ,
